Thanks, bjs1779. At the end he proposes a simple test and says:

"If this test shows recoverable brain function, it is a mandatory obligation from a medical standpoint that Ms Schiavo receive the proper therapy. In my opinion, to forego treatment of this patient and deny her nutrition and hydration amounts to murder.

Unfortunately, the bioethickers only consider a death murder when the victim has the ability to defend themselves.

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT IN AND FOR PINELLAS COUNTY, FLORIDA
SIXTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT

In re: The GUARDIANSHIP OF Theresa Marie SCHIAVO, Incapacitated.

Michael SCHIAVO, as Guardian of the person of Theresa Marie Schiavo,

Petitioner, v. Robert SCHINDLER and Mary Schindler, Respondents.

No. 90-2908-GB-003.
Nov. 22, 2002.

ORDER

The Mandate requires something more than a belief, hope or "some" improvement. It requires this court to find, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the treatment offers such sufficient promise of increased cognitive function in Mrs. Schiavo's cerebral cortex so as to significantly improve her quality of life.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND AJDUDGED [sic] that the Motion for Relief from Judgment filed herein by Robert and Mary Schindler, Respondents, be and the same is hereby denied.

In the event the Motion for Relief from Judgement [sic] is denied, the Mandate also requires this court to follow the dictates of the prior Mandate of the Second District Court of Appeal and "enter an order scheduling the withdrawal of life- support". Accordingly, it is

FURTHER ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Michael Schiavo, as Guardian of the Person of Theresa Marie Schiavo, shall withdraw or cause to be withdrawn the artificial life-support (hydration and nutrition tube) from Theresa Marie Schiavo at 3:00 p.m. on January 3, 2003.
